Today I acquired...........

[Rannsachair]

That's going to be a whole lot more interesting than watching the Xmas edition of Strictly Come Bake off on Ice with a Celebrity with enlarged lips and her dopy Big Brother.

I believe there is a knack to it, I have 2 Matchless G80 cranks and a friend has a BSA C15 needing done, so I will get some practice at the measured blow with a lead mallet.

These two turned up today, just in time for some festive whisk(e)y sparring with my lad

I have original Glencairns and they're fine for first sampling of a new bottle or when I'm chilling on my own, but I do find them awkward in my lumps of meat and not the best when socialising!
I also have a couple of Norlan glasses (expensive), and they are great for nosing and tasting, but also they are easy to hold. Slight gripes are the lip of the glass is quite thick and they are fragile compared to other glasses.
I'm hoping that these are a a bit of both, and although I usually drink all whisk(e)y without ice, these give me the option.

In the name of research I'm going to start 'testing' these out, but if I fall over drunk later, I'll take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very happy and safe Xmas

Now, where's the key to the whisk(e)y cupboard......................................

I acquired this alpine 7390m cassette deck to put in my BMW E30. A very knowledgeable fellow in Germany serviced it for me and converted the LEDs and backlight from the classic alpine alien green to orange. Can't wait to fit itView attachment 324477

ah man, that's cool will look good in the e30!
Do those not have aux-in on the back? Would be cool to build in aux and bluetooth functionality but the looks of a toaster.

You weren't foolish enough to let it fall into the hands of SWMBO, were you?

Noooooooooooooo! I won't even contemplate that thought ...........

Well, yesterday actually but in time for an overnight frost. A bit of an indulgence really but I got fed up of the cheapy £1.99 jobs. Seems to work very well although I've not had to resort to the 'ice' end yet.

I saw the words 'Swedish' and 'neoprene' and was hoping for a blond wearing a wetsuit.......................................

Sorry to disappoint.

Sorry to disappoint.

I'll live in hope, one day perhaps...................

Christmas has come early, after years of searching I am now the proud owner of an Alpha Tru crankshaft alignment tool

You could make one of them from any set of balancing rolls.

Man that takes you back! What a piece of kit

Another delivery today :

 

[My Old Landy]

After searching for a s/h 8" (200mm) three jaw with both sets I decided to go for new (I know, not my usual stance!). This Sandu was £75 delivered and I ordered it Tuesday so excellent service
I just need to make a back plate with 6tpi flat thread for the Raglan.

 

[Hood]

It was actually yesterday but I fitted as per the instructions and they fouled the parking brake lever so today I refitted them without the additional bar end weight extensions and they actually fit better

They are MachineArtMoto ADVance guards.
They can be configured in three ways and it just takes seconds to change.

For warm weather you remove the insert and sliding extension.

For a bit colder you fit the insert.

For cold weather you slide up the extension.

Fitted to the bike.

@Hood is there any original honda bits left on this bike? think you've replaced most of it no?

Not replaced that much, just added extras

 

[Hood]

I am actually waiting on something else, due in today but I reckon with the way the post is at the moment it will probably be next year

 

[MCKDAVID]

that's why you should have bought a suzuki, wouldn't have needed all the extras.... ahahahahaha

Aye I know, spanners would be all that was required

Before you take the crank apart scribe a line with a set square across the outside faces of the two flywheels to make it a bit easier to line them up .
